Twilight fans are restless--will they keep Taylor as Bella Swan's love interest, Jacob, in the film adaptation of New Moon? Or will they pick someone "sexier" a la Robert Pattison/Edward Cullen?
We all know how Taylor feels about this: 'My job for Twilight was to bring Twilight Jacob to life — the friendly, happy-go-lucky little Jacob,'' he told MTV News. ''My job for New Moon is completely different. I've been looking forward to that. I've been getting ready for it, and I can assure them I will follow through with that.''
But Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter of both Twilight films has this to add: ''He's [the character of Jacob] a foot taller and huge — and he's supposed to look 25. It's really a question of whether or not the same actor can play the role.'' Rosenberg is quick to add, however, that ''everyone would love to keep him. We all think he's the loveliest person ever.''
What do you think? Personally, I thought Twilight to be a tad too saccharine and 12-year-oldish for my tastes, but I really liked Taylor as Jacob. He did bring the character to life with a great deal of charm and empathy. I would be more likely to catch the movie with Taylor in the role.
